With Ten Thousand Bars - Live’ Ezio finally have the definitive live album
acclaimed as probably the best live acoustic rock act in Europe this is Ezio's eight album release and has been gathering accolades right across the globe.
Recorded on a very special night at the Kaisertherme in Trier, Germany (a huge original Roman bath arena ) in front of over 2,000 ecstatic fans, Ten Thousand Bars - Live spans the career of Ezio (Lunedei ) and Mark ‘Booga’ Fowell taking in songs from various albums but always keeping the focus and vibe of the outstanding Ten Thousand Bars album (2007 ) intact.
The band Lee ‘The Reverend’ Russell (guitar, keyboards ), Lidia Cascarino-Clos (Bass ) and Alex Reeves (drums ) excel at complementing, not washing over the songs, in a way that makes ‘classic’ Ezio tracks (check Accordion Girl or You’re Strange ) come alive in a whole new context. No frills, no flashy production, just these brilliant songs, better than ever! So yeah, Ten Thousand Bars Live is a sort of ‘Best Of’ album.
Here is a band captured at what they truly excel in: Performing live and playing a selection of songs most other acts would kill for.
So here it is, in all its glory, for your aural pleasure wherever you may be, at home, in your car or out walking the dog with your iPod. If you weren’t there on that warm summer evening in 2007, this is as close as you’ll get - live in Cleeres on Friday May 22.
